Help Tracking App problems (for use while walking).

[jake7363]

Greetings,

Because of health issues, I need to do plenty of walking. I keep track of statistics using an app that Tracks me as I walk. For a long time, the app(s) I used performed rather well. But about a month ago, that changed. I am getting erroneous numbers regarding speed, GPS locations, distance, time, etc. One app behaves one way, another app different from that. Accuracy is a lost quality for any of those apps.

However, there is one app that remains reliable, but it doesn't provide all the numbers I need: FitBit.
Overall, I have tried about 6 different apps and none perform as they should. It is obvious that the GPS is working since the FitBit can register my locations as I walk.

I tried uninstalling FitBit, then used the other apps, but nothing improved.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jake

May I ask, does your phone have sensors or health consciousness apps of its own? If so, your device sensors can make up for the ones your Fitbit may not have.

Certain activities can't be tracked without certain sensors?

What kind of phone do you have that can also install Fitbit?
